[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 2/2] drm/i915: Don't use BAR mappings for ring buffers with LLC

From: Daniele Ceraolo Spurio <daniele.ceraolospurio at intel.com>

Direction from hardware is that ring buffers should never be mapped
via the BAR on systems with LLC. There are too many caching pitfalls
due to the way BAR accesses are routed. So it is safest to just not
use it.
